Agenda / Proceedings
-------
1) Welcome, agenda bashing
2) eduroam Managed IdP update to alpha2
* enforces email support address
3) Google Maps billing, consequence for eduroam maps
- Google Maps API v3 will require a billing contact and an APIKEY in the future
- details: https://mapsplatform.googleblog.com/2018/05/introducing-google-maps-platform.html?utm_source=em-anncmt&utm_medium=em&utm_campaign=fy18-q2-global-adhoc-email-cs-maps_none_maps_spicestandardplannobilling&utm_content=global%7Cen%7Chybr%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C
- if you were using v3 without APIKEY you have enjoyed a grandfathering which will likely go away
- so either bring your Google Maps usage up to current, or discontinue use of Maps
- CAT 2.0 has a minimalistic abstraction framework, and will likely ship by default with code independent from Google - OpenLayers, using OpenStreetMap as a backend
- if someone feels like coding other backends (Microsoft Bing, OpenStreetMap direct, ... ) we are happy to take your pull requests on GitHub
- OpenStreetMap is slower than Google Maps (tile loading). Setting up our own tile server is probably a large overkill for just CAT - but maybe a GEANT instance for all of GEANT purposes
- Zenon to find out the URL and T&C of the GRnet tile server; we might use that
4) preparing for CAT 2.0 beta1 in "a few weeks"
- please test alpha2 versions
https://cat-test.eduroam.org/RC/ <-- classic CAT deployment, per-inst profiles, copy of prod CAT of a few weeks ago - i.e. all your data is there
https://cat-pilot.eduroam.org <-- eduroam Managed IdP
- and/or translate to your language
- admin API coding finished, will be in beta1
rudimentary documentation at https://wiki.geant.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=108003454#AguidetoeduroamCATforfederationadministrators(version2.x)-UI-lessAutomatedManagement:theAdminAPI(2.0)
- Android integration
- stress test of current code with API
1 M users, full lifecycle including installer generation and pickup, with 50 concurrent threads took 6h on Stefans dev server (8 vCPUs, 1G RAM).
- possible optimisation in the fed admin "new inst" popup - allow better sorting/access to institution names in the dropdown list
- Stefan recapped the eduroam SP proxy update situation (SSP 1.15 discontinuing the use of old-style ePTIDs) - NROs should work with their IdPs to update their SAML software if they can't log into CAT (or any other Operations Support Service) any more
5) AOB, next VC
